Rus Education Felicitates Russian pass out Doctors for clearing Indian licensing exam

New Delhi [India], March 23 (ANI/SRV): No matter how many medical aspirants leave India to study MBBS in Russia every year, the ultimate goal of the majority of Indian students is to practice medicine in India. The gateway to entering the Indian healthcare system after pursuing medical education in Russia or anywhere in the world is qualifying for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE). According to an FMGE circular of Screening Test Regulations 2002 dated 15th March 2002, any candidate who has taken admission to a foreign medical institution on or after 15th March 2002 must appear for the FMGE screening test.
The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) is a medical licensing examination conducted twice a year by the National Board of Examination (NBE) for Indian or Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) who have completed their medical education from foreign medical universities and now want to practice medicine in India. Qualifying for the FMG Examination is necessary to obtain the registration certificate from the National Medical Commission (NMC) or State Medical Council (SMC). Referring to the draft of the National Medical Commission, the FMGE will soon be replaced by the National Exit Test (NExT) in 2023 which will be a common exam for both Indian and Foreign Medical Graduates.
The result of FMGE December 2022 was a milestone achievement as 32% of the candidates cleared the exam with flying colours. It was a proud moment for Rus Education and its associated Russian medical universities - Orenburg State Medical University, Perm State Medical University, and Mari State University - with hundreds of their medical graduates qualifying for the exam. The day of 3rd February 2023 was historic and memorable for them, with many graduates qualifying for the exam and soon joining the Indian healthcare system.
